Falcon Heavy – there has never been such a recording of a SpaceX rocket before. 4K video beats science fiction movies

Last Sunday Falcon Heavya super-heavy launch vehicle owned by Elon Musk SpaceX has taken to the air again. January 15, promptly at At 23:56 Polish time, the spacecraft took off from the Space Center in Florida. John F. Kennedy to carry out the mission coded USSF-67, aimed at launching military satellites of the United States Space Force into orbit. The 8-minute flight of the Falcon Heavy was captured this time on a fantastic recording in 4K resolution, which can fully realize how majestic the rocket’s performances in the sky look.

The author of the video is an amateur astronomer who runs the Astronomy Live social media channel. He used an 11-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope, a camera capable of capturing images in 4K quality, software he developed called RocketTraker, and a flight trajectory predicted by FlightClub.io, to trace the aerial exploits of one of the boosters, which in the 2nd minute and 30th second of the recording detaches from the central section. It is then that the spectacle begins, compared to which science fiction films pale. See for yourself:
